Poor DD is only trying to sit beside me on the couch - I just can't bear all the close activity! She's been so nicely behaved that it makes me feel guilty.

A friend was supposed to come by with her kids this afternoon and I was very pleased when she cancelled. The need to retreat you mention Bella is exactly what I'm feeling. Thank goodness I've strictly enforced just me, DP and DD for Xmas Day here. We will visit MIL, but not for long.

Physically, I'm good though. No aches and pains and even the pressure on my bladder is not bothering me now, even though her head has further engaged.

How are you doing, Bella and Hot1?
